Looks like you struck gold Rob! Are these middle of the line models? They look a little spartan from what I've seen elsewhere - but you've certainly got a nice looking set, ready to provide lots of service for the intrepid collector.
Have fun with them! | ||

Those are the last FRIGIDAIRE set I owned. I had them in the mid to late eighties. I saw an ad in the paper and got them from a schoolmate's cousin. She remembered me from a party we went to back in the seventies. The bearings in the washer had been worn after all the usage and I went with John L. to go meet Jon Charles. I took it along and that was the last I saw of it. I have yet to see any here in Hawaii. Kenmore, GE, and Whilpool are the high sellers here with Maytag making a comeback
The Custom sets were first introduced when KMart began carrying Frigidaire. They were similar to the Gold Crown models without the glass lids. I had numerous models throughout the eighties. Custom, Deluxe, Custom Deluxe, Elite, Imperial, and Custom Imperial. One thing I noticed regarding the Elite touch control model was the high speed agitation would not engage until the wash or rinse water was set above small load setting! My guess is that there may have been enough complaints by consumers about the splashing out of water when using the higher agitation speed on small to mini loads.??? | ||
